Minstrel Serenade 3rd in the Behind the Painted Masque A limited edition collection of four plates from original artwork by Ben Black for Royal Doulton Collectors International #742 of 10,000 "The clown's face has become a traditional symbol of life itself...a fascinating challenge to capture the inner essence of the person masquerading under the painted surface; a search for the hidden truth." Ben Black "This is the first collectors plate series to be presented on an exciting new and different shape: the outwardly curved "camber" shape. Royal Doulton, always innovator in artware, from distinctive glazes to unusual designs, developed this shape so that it makes it easy to view from many angles, and easy to hang flush against the wall. It is a design that is expecially appropriate for Ben Black's work as he utilizes the white border effectively with a style that particularly lends itself to the camber shape." This 8-3/4" diameter plate, rimmed in gold and is number 742 of 10,000. It is new in the original box, backstamped and hand numbered . Plate is for decorative purposes only and not for use with food . "Ben Black's art appears in many important galleries and private collections throughout the United States and in Canada, England, Italy, Austria and Brazil. His art is an energetic combination of discipline, design and free flowing inspiration making effective use of the pallet. He is able to achieve his stunning effects by combining pen and ink with water colors, and as he states 'combining colored ink and water color is a painstaking technique, yielding a defusion of color unlike anything done before by another artist'....With this collection, Ben Black joins the ranks of the world's famous artists like Hahn Vidal, Chen Chi, Francisco Masseria, Don Kingman and Gustavo Novoa who have created original art for the Royal Doulton Collectors Plate series."
